Where the man you're dating and soon to marry have their reservations about you. Considering you're closer to their age and their father has millions in his name...
Thinking about the Step-family in question being adults; well established and acting on their own from their aging father
Unknowingly letting him fall prey to you
Walking Temptation with a hunger for deep pockets and a smile innocent enough to make anyone swoon
It’s a shock when the next time they see their dad for the holidays he’s got you on his arm
Just a little bit older than them (half his age) and with a giant engagement ring on your finger
“You like it? Your dad got it for me when we were in Dubai!”
“Uh Dad can I have a word? Alone?”
Taniya, his eldest is the hardest to grill you
Being incredibly open with her suspicions about you
And she’s the most vigilant when it comes to reprimanding her father for spoiling you
“Dad think about it (Y/n) doesn’t need another sports car! You’ve already gotten them two!”
In no uncertain terms, you’re sure Taniya hates your guts
If the way all the restaurants your future husband has worked with for some reason can’t serve you has anything to say about it, that’s likely the case
But you don’t mind!
That way you can take your man to the best place to get croquettes
Yeah it’s sketchy but that’s what his bodyguards are for
The second worst is his youngest, Titan
Classic attention-hungry influencer son who thinks pranks on you are going viral because everyone enjoys your misery as much as he does
“Your misery” is the curious tilt of your head when you find the leather seats of your range rover decorated with glitter
Doesn’t really bother you though, so you’ll show off your new interior to all your new followers on socials
Wonder where they came from
Finally the middle son Tariq always forgotten but not quite estranged doesn’t seem to dislike you too much
After all, he did start coming around the villa more since you’ve moved in
“Oh hey (Y/n) I heard those flowers my dad got you went missing, it just so happens to work out that I brought you some.”
“Those are my favorites! How did you know?”
“Lucky guess. Anyway, I heard you got the latest VR tech, want to show me how it works?”
For a while you fall into a cycle with your fiance and his family
Eventually tying the knot in a luxurious venue in front of hundreds of masked billionaires
Of course, all your older husband’s kids decide to be civil
And all is well…until it isn’t
All too soon are the siblings gathered again when their father dies two weeks later
It’s all so sudden
With heavy hearts, their knowledge of his decline makes it better for the siblings to take on the funeral preparations
Begrudgingly Taniya takes it upon herself to try getting the funds from you, coming to the Villa prepared to argue
Instead, she’s met with one of her father’s most loyal bodyguards
Woefully opening the door
“(Y/n) has been too distraught to leave their bed since the…last hospital visit.”
“What?”
She would have expected someone like you to have been jumping for joy
Having tied the knot with a man who’d pay for any tuition you might’ve needed paid Taniya doubts it she expected you’d be as bubbly as others in your…profession
But instead of partying you were glued to the giant California bed clutching an old shirt of his
For once Taniya feels bad for you
“Uh hey (Y/n) I was wondering if you maybe wanted to come to the first meeting with the mortuary staff. We’re looking to pick a coffin and–”
Instead of something snarky or even an agreement, you throw a black card in her direction and pull the covers over your head
Barely smothering the crying sounds
“You know what? Maybe it might be best if I stay back here..with you.”
It’s all too easy for her to lend her shoulder as you wail about your late husband–her father
Its awkward for awhile and then it’s not
She weirdly looks forward to pulling your tear-stricken face into her chest she wore the v-neck for a reason while you discuss the funeral arrangements
Purposely making her meetings online so she can rub your back off screen
Finding that the lingering security guard–your unofficial butler is getting more and more on her nerves
Taniya doesn’t even realize she’s gotten this bad until she’s hoping the chandelier will fall on her brothers when they eventually show up
“Wow. You two are here. In-person…why didn’t you call?”
“I don’t need your permission to see (Y/n)! But you know I would’ve come sooner if my company wasn’t dealing with a major crisis by some mysterious corporate giant!”
“Don’t look at me, I told you working for a shady company would get you no where.”
“I cannot with you right now–”
“I also came-!”
“Shut up Titan.” “Please Titan we’re talking.”
Titan isn’t all that worried about his old man being dead except his allowance stopped
And technically he shouldn’t be staying in the Villa anymore…but his followers are asking questions
“And in here we have the–whoa crying widow alert!”
“W-what?!”
He gets a lot of hate for that one
And while his siblings circle around you like vultures he’s finding it hard to insincerely apologize so that you can do a follow-up apology video with him
He’s following you around so much and observing all your little quirks
he worries it might be important when ‘apologizing’ so maybe he should record it…
Thus begins his long and greatly popular series of getting to know my dead dad’s spouse
He records as much as he can–what you eat, how you talk, how you whisper promises to the pictures of his dad you put up
It weirdly makes him question everything
It also has him posting to a new platform…a more hidden one
“Alright, guys! I actually got into their closet without issue we’ve just got to hope they won’t need to come in here anymore. OMG They’re back! I wonder what they’ll do…next. Uhm…sorry chat but I’m going to shut off the camera for awhile….I think this is just for me.”
Unlike Taniya who will hesitate, thinking of her father while cuddling up to you Titan does not think
Because after his copious amounts of stalking streaming with you
He's decided you will be his inheritance from dad
Clearly the old man wasn’t strong enough to handle you
So Titan would be the hero to sweep such a camera worthy beauty off their feet
Tariq doesn’t hesitate either
he’s gotten over that the day he met you
Sure he misses his dad a lot less than he expected+ but he does miss the privacy he used to have with you
“Hey (Y/n) do you want to go out for a ride like we used to do.”
“Oh Tariq I’d love to but I already told Titan we’d do a muckbang with him.”
“And after that, we’re going to film our feet ASMR!”
“Titan I said I’d need to think about that–”
“What?! You already said no to the hot-tub stream, how much more of a Karen can you be?!”
“Okay okay, but I’d rather it not be live.”
“Duh, I may not ever want to post it.”
Tariq is so tired of everyone else realizing just how much you’re not like any gold-digger he’s ever known
In fact, you’re so bad at it that he doubts you were ever a gold digger in the first place
“Hey Tariq the lawyer had a question about the life insurance money, should I just write you a check or do I keep it? I’m so confused.”
“Wow uh, that’s a lot.”
“Yeah, but your dad always told me what to do with this kind of stuff. So what do I do?”
“Uhh, how about we open our own bank account and put it there!”
“Oooh like a married couple’s bank account?”
“Yeah just like marriage. It’s a little too early to ask right?”
Nonetheless, all three siblings are beginning to realize just how ‘bad’ of a gold digger you are
And they’re more than eager to show you the right way…as long as you change your allegiance to them.
